Porto file complaint against Varandas at Sporting over kisses | OneFootball

Breaking news: Porto will file a complaint against Frederico Varandas. Apparently, the issue concerns the kisses that the Sporting President blew to the fans who insulted him when he arrived at Estádio do Dragão on his way to the locker rooms.

The news is being reported by the newspaper Record, on the afternoon of this Thursday, February 12, which reveals that, upon arrival at Estádio do Dragão, Sporting claimed that one of the access doors was closed. However, according to available information, this is a standard procedure, applied in the same way to all visiting teams, requiring the use of the usual established route.

This route involves passing by the tunnel leading to the pitch, an area where Porto fans were present. At that location, Frederico Varandas was provoked and responded ironically, blowing kisses towards those present.

At the time of the incident, match delegates and Porto officials were present at the scene. Faced with the situation, the representatives of the Dragons asked them if the episode would be mentioned in the official match report, and were told that it would be. However, according to the home team, such a reference was not included in the final document, which is said to have motivated the decision to file a formal complaint about the incident.

It should also be noted that Frederico Varandas, besides the insults in the tunnel and 'target' of mockery by Porto Canal, was also targeted by a banner displayed by the Super Dragões supporters group during the match, which was related to his statements about Pinto da Costa: "If calling someone a "bandit" isn’t a crime, saying Varandas is a son of a b**** is a compliment".
